1 tīmathiyaḥ 1

1 asmākaṁ trāṇakartturīśvarasyāsmākaṁ pratyāśābhūmeḥ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya cājñānusārato yīśukhrīṣṭasya preritaḥ paulaḥ svakīyaṁ satyaṁ dharmmaputraṁ tīmathiyaṁ prati patraṁ likhati|

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the command of God our Savior and Sovereign Jesus Christ our hope,

2 asmākaṁ tāta īśvaro'smākaṁ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭaśca tvayi anugrahaṁ dayāṁ śāntiñca kuryyāstāṁ|

to Timothy, true son by faith: Grace, mercy, peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3 mākidaniyādeśe mama gamanakāle tvam iphiṣanagare tiṣṭhan itaraśikṣā na grahītavyā, ananteṣūpākhyāneṣu vaṁśāvaliṣu ca yuṣmābhi rmano na niveśitavyam

You recall that I urged you to remain in Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, in order that you should command certain persons to stop teaching a different doctrine

4 iti kāṁścit lokān yad upadiśeretat mayādiṣṭo'bhavaḥ, yataḥ sarvvairetai rviśvāsayukteśvarīyaniṣṭhā na jāyate kintu vivādo jāyate|

and occupying themselves with myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than the godly training which is by faith.

5 upadeśasya tvabhipretaṁ phalaṁ nirmmalāntaḥkaraṇena satsaṁvedena niṣkapaṭaviśvāsena ca yuktaṁ prema|

Now the goal of that command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith;

6 kecit janāśca sarvvāṇyetāni vihāya nirarthakakathānām anugamanena vipathagāmino'bhavan,

some having strayed from these have been turned aside to empty talk,

7 yad bhāṣante yacca niścinvanti tanna budhyamānā vyavasthopadeṣṭāro bhavitum icchanti|

desiring to be teachers of the law, not understanding either what they say or the things that they affirm.

8 sā vyavasthā yadi yogyarūpeṇa gṛhyate tarhyuttamā bhavatīti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|

Now we know that the law is good if one uses it correctly,

9 aparaṁ sā vyavasthā dhārmmikasya viruddhā na bhavati kintvadhārmmiko 'vādhyo duṣṭaḥ pāpiṣṭho 'pavitro 'śuciḥ pitṛhantā mātṛhantā narahantā

knowing that law is not made for a righteous person but for lawless and rebellious ones, for ungodly and sinners, for unholy and profane, for father-smiters and mother-smiters, for murderers,

10 veśyāgāmī puṁmaithunī manuṣyavikretā mithyāvādī mithyāśapathakārī ca sarvveṣāmeteṣāṁ viruddhā,

for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine

11 tathā saccidānandeśvarasya yo vibhavayuktaḥ susaṁvādo mayi samarpitastadanuyāyihitopadeśasya viparītaṁ yat kiñcid bhavati tadviruddhā sā vyavastheti tadgrāhiṇā jñātavyaṁ|

as defined by the Gospel of the glory of the blessed God, with which I was entrusted.

12 mahyaṁ śaktidātā yo'smākaṁ prabhuḥ khrīṣṭayīśustamahaṁ dhanyaṁ vadāmi|

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who enables me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into a ministry;

13 yataḥ purā nindaka upadrāvī hiṁsakaśca bhūtvāpyahaṁ tena viśvāsyo 'manye paricārakatve nyayujye ca| tad aviśvāsācaraṇam ajñānena mayā kṛtamiti hetorahaṁ tenānukampito'bhavaṁ|

I, who was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and arrogant; but I was shown mercy, because being ignorant I did it in unbelief;

14 aparaṁ khrīṣṭe yīśau viśvāsapremabhyāṁ sahito'smatprabhoranugraho 'tīva pracuro'bhat|

the grace of our Lord overflowed, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

15 pāpinaḥ paritrātuṁ khrīṣṭo yīśu rjagati samavatīrṇo'bhavat, eṣā kathā viśvāsanīyā sarvvai grahaṇīyā ca|

Here is a trustworthy word, worthy of total acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am chief;

16 teṣāṁ pāpināṁ madhye'haṁ prathama āsaṁ kintu ye mānavā anantajīvanaprāptyarthaṁ tasmin viśvasiṣyanti teṣāṁ dṛṣṭānte mayi prathame yīśunā khrīṣṭena svakīyā kṛtsnā cirasahiṣṇutā yat prakāśyate tadarthamevāham anukampāṁ prāptavān| (aiōnios g166)

precisely for this reason I was shown mercy, that in me, the ‘chief’, Jesus Christ might display all his forbearance, as an example for those who are going to rely on Him into eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

17 anādirakṣayo'dṛśyo rājā yo'dvitīyaḥ sarvvajña īśvarastasya gauravaṁ mahimā cānantakālaṁ yāvad bhūyāt| āmen| (aiōn g165)

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

18 he putra tīmathiya tvayi yāni bhaviṣyadvākyāni purā kathitāni tadanusārād aham enamādeśaṁ tvayi samarpayāmi, tasyābhiprāyo'yaṁ yattvaṁ tai rvākyairuttamayuddhaṁ karoṣi

Son Timothy, I am giving you this charge in accordance with the prophecies about you that lead the way, that in them you may wage the good warfare,

19 viśvāsaṁ satsaṁvedañca dhārayasi ca| anayoḥ parityāgāt keṣāñcid viśvāsatarī bhagnābhavat|

holding on to faith and a good conscience (which some having rejected have suffered shipwreck concerning the Faith;

20 humināyasikandarau teṣāṁ yau dvau janau, tau yad dharmmanindāṁ puna rna karttuṁ śikṣete tadarthaṁ mayā śayatānasya kare samarpitau|

of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander—whom I have handed over to Satan that they may be taught not to blaspheme).
